Description
This is a research grant opportunity focused on developing HIV vaccine candidates by designing multivalent envelope immunogens to elicit broad neutralizing antibody responses. The project aims to optimize immunogen design and delivery strategies, and to evaluate immune responses in non-human primates. The ultimate goal is to advance these vaccine candidates to human clinical trials. The solicitation is issued by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the NIH.
